1.) Ruby Pickens Tartt is being interviewed.
2.) Ruby Pickens is Amy Chapman's niece and she is a cotton farmer.
3.) Ruby is an African American who is a middle aged female.
4.) The interview takes place in Livingston, Alabama.
5.) The date of the interview is September 28, 1938.
6.) The interviewer was someone from The Washington Copy with the initials L.H.
7.) In this interview Ruby Pickens is questioned about the death of her aunt Amy Chapman. The interviewer questions Ruby about Amy Chapman's character. Ruby replies saying that she was a very generous woman who never asked for help and was very independent. She also explains how Amy was such a hardworking person even at the old age of ninety five; she even died while working. Ruby is also questioned about her aunt's early life. She replies by saying, "Aunt Amy's earlier life is like something out of the worst pages of Harriet Beecher Stowe." In her older life amy was nonsocial and did not want to visit with any of her neighbors. I can infer she is this way because of her harsh childhood. Lastly, Ruby is questioned about her aunt's funeral and how it was to witness her aunt being buried. I belive that Amy was a determined and hardworking person and that she lived a hard long life. In her early years she was treated poorly and in her older years she enjoyed being alone. Her life got better as it went on until her death. All in all, Amy was a hardworker but she didn't have joy in her work.

1.) Miss Margaret Hobson is being interviewed.
2.) Maragaret Hobson is sister of the late Richmond P. Hobson
3.) Margaret is a white, elderly, woman.
4.) The interview takes place in Greensboro, Alabama.
5.) The date of the interview is December 15, 1938.
6.) The interviewer was S.J.
7.) In this interview Miss Margaret Hobson tells the history of the house Magnolia Grove. She explains how it was passed down from owner to owner and she gives briefs details of each person. This is because the interviewer asks questions about each of the owners. Hobson explains how the house was built by Issac Croom and she gives a brief story of when the house was originally built. It is hard to understand Miss Hobson's personality because she is telling a story about her family and does not include herself in it. My impression from this story is that Magnolia Grove was a treasure and historic house. The owners cared for it with lots of care. All in all, this house was treasured but not only the owners but the citizens of the town as well.

4.) This interview takes place in Lowndes County, Alabama.

Mary Gilchrist Powell was a highly talented women who shared a caring personality that led her to become an outstanding musician, teacher, writer, and a welfare worker. She shared her story about how her ancestors influenced the person who she became to be. Her family even left her a house with its own memories of teaching veterans. She even shared her story of the claim over the Powell's fortune. The interviewer of this story is Marie Reese, and she only seemed like she was interested in the the family tree of this 27 year old Mary Powell. She explained how she gave some of her food to the kids who were less fortunate. I think this interview just tells me that Mary Gilchrist was a lady who naturally had the blood of serving people thanks to her family.

3.) He is a West Indian man who wasss 60 years old when being interviewed.
4.) He was interviewed in Mobile, Alabama.
5.) The interview was recorded in 1938.
6.) The interviewer was written by Helen S. Hartley.
Helen S. Hartley interviewed a 60 year old man named Jim Davis. This West Indian man tells us the life storyof how he had started working at the age of 11 opening the oppertunity to travel the world and experience different cultures. He left his mother, father, and two brothers to work on the "Red Jacket" as a cabin boy traveling to the sea ports of England, Wales, Russia, and Germany. He shared how he found a job as a water boy on another ship after winning a court case instead of going to jail. That was how an old colored man adopted him and gave him shelter. Thankfully, that didn't stop his adventure in life becuase he later left from his adopted home and continued traveling until he was 20 years old. His life now settled on land as he took up work in the the Alabama Corn Mills Company in 1898, but when this company closed down, Jim started painting, house-cleaning, and other jobs with low pay. He worked this way until 1932, when he worked for a truck company and happily enjoyed the good in life with Lizzie, his wife. After reading all this, I believe that he enjoys life the way it is because he ended up living in a beautiful house, where as, he came from living off the sea.

7. Katy Brumby was interviewed by Mary Chappell about her life story. Katy grew up in Mount Meigs, Alabama; her family owned a farm and she worked out on the farm as well. I observed that Katy wasn’t that well educated because she didn’t use proper grammar. In the interview it says, “Katy was in the eighth grade at school when she stopped.” Katy was a very kind and never complained. She didn’t have much, her father and mother both died, although she still kept her benevolent demeanor. She lived in a poverty stricken neighborhood, but she never lost her optimism.
